I have a 10" thin stained-glass (painted, no rim). Will this hold the piece and I can rig up a way of hanging it in a window?

I would not trust this product to hold up the glass you describe. First of all, the plate hanger is held in place with springs. Especially without a rim to protect it, the constant tension could be detrimental to the stained glass panel. This product broke while I was stretching it around a glass platter -- one of the wires snapped -- so I certainly would not use this brand of plate hanger to hold up anything heavy and/or fragile.

Julia - No, I would not reccomend this hardware for that use. Because the bulk of the hanger sits on the back side of your piece, it will show through the transparent glass. I would also be concerned about the amount of tension pressure the springs would put on the thin glass. Your local craft store, or the like, may be able to give you further advice on this.

It says it holds a 10" to 14" plate. I see no reason why it wouldn't hold the 10" plate if it's true 10".

Good morning, Debra. You may use other hardware than a nail to hang the item. Please check with your local hardware store for further information. Thank you, Sarah | HearthSong Customer Service

I hung mine from the ceiling, which was not that difficult. I'm not sure if that would work since the top is not adjustable.

I love the lamp. I use for stained glass working. I don't think it would hold on a vertical surface.

There are a couple of *tiny* little holes at the top of the plastic bracket. You'd need a needle small 's' hook or something like that and a string or chain to hang it from... but sure, it's possible.

I suppose that would depend on how far out your hook extended. The glass is 11 inches in diameter.

I did not try to hang it sideways but the globes are very secure so I would assume it would be just fine. It is a very substantial and good looking fixture. My client was thrilled with them. I am sure it would matter what the size of the round hole was. that i cannot answer for you. the hole can always be patched and made smaller if you need to. Hope this helps.

Yes. I have 6 and 8" stained glass pieces in my windows with the smaller ones and have never had one loosen or come off. The only surface I have found that they aren't really secure is a very rough or porous one.

I'm not sure how you would attach it. If I did hang it I wouldn't want to put much weight on it. I hope this helps

A glass panel would not be strong enough to support this stand in my opinion. The clamp is really beefy and requires a minimum thickness (not at home to measure it). I would not recommend using this on anything less than and inch thick. You could add wood blocks to build up the area around the clamp but I'm not sure that a glass panel would be able to withstand that amount of torq (weight will not be coming straight down).

It's made to be hung vertically pictured. It can be adapted by a glass store to hang horizontally by moving the hanging hooks.

I just looked at it again. There is a thin metal bar that goes between the cross bars and the knobs, I guess this is thin enough to conform to the round cross bars, but I just don't know how well it would hold.

not very well - you would need to use two stands to hold it still. There is no loop on the long side to hang it with, so you need some sort of small clamp.

I don't see why not. The glass is held in place by 4 little suction cup doohickeys. Just slap a piece of wood on there instead if that's the look you're going for. Don't know how well it will hold onto the wood though.

sorry, i used as humming bird feeder hanger on glass, however it works well with no slippage during entire summer. it might work for you depending on weight of lamp. maybe a lamp over a mirror?

I used them to hold a small piece of glass (12'w x 6"h) to my wall. I think it will hold a larger piece like the one your 3'x3', however the determining factor is anchoring it securely to your wall. If you have drywall, then use heavy-duty drywall anchors. If you have old plaster walls with lathe and metal mesh, then consult your Ace hardware store or Home Depot. They can make a recommendation for you. If you know where the studs are in your wall and can screw into it, then you should be fine. Another factor is the thickness and weight of your mirror. If it's just the glass (between 1/8" and 1/4") and not with a heavy backer or frame, then you should be OK.Hope this helps! I used them to hold a small piece of glass (12'w x 6"h) to my wall.

I wouldn't recommend hanging it upside down. The glass does not sit securely in the base of the light fixture so there is some play in the glass. There is a nut that hold the glass in place but it just doesn't seem that secure to me. Good luck and happy hunting.
